Partez à la découverte d'une culture enrichissante lors d'un trek de 17 jours à travers les magnifiques régions de Langtang, Gosaikunda et Helambu au Népal. Ce voyage commence à Katmandou par des visites des sites de la ville classés au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, suivies d'un trajet en voiture jusqu'à Syabrubesi, un village Tamang situé sur les rives de la rivière Bhote Koshi, où commence le trek.
Vous traverserez des forêts luxuriantes, des villages pittoresques et rencontrerez une faune abondante, avec des vues à couper le souffle sur l'Himalaya. Montez à Kyanjin Gompa et escaladez le Tserko Ri pour des vues panoramiques de la chaîne du Langtang Lirung (7 200 m/23 622ft). Continuez à travers la magnifique vallée du Langtang jusqu'à Gosaikunda, un site sacré pour les bouddhistes et les hindous, réputé pour son lac de guérison magique.
Traversez le col de Laurebina et entrez dans la vallée d'Helambu. L'un des points forts de cette région est d'atteindre le sommet de l'Ama Yangri à 3 800 mètres, qui offre des vues rivalisant avec celles de Poon Hill, avec des perspectives rapprochées sur le mont Shishapangma et les chaînes du Langtang. Passez quelques jours de plus à explorer la région de l'Helambu avant de conclure votre remarquable voyage par un retour en voiture à Katmandou.
Condition physique et expérience requises :
Le trek Langtang, Gosaikunda et Helambu est considéré comme modéré, adapté aux marcheurs passionnés qui peuvent marcher 5 à 7 heures par jour avec un sac léger pour la journée. Le trekking à haute altitude pose des défis physiques plus importants qu'à basse altitude. Une bonne santé, une condition physique moyenne, une attitude positive et une forte détermination sont essentielles pour réaliser ce trek. L'exercice régulier et le jogging dans les semaines précédant le trekking amélioreront la force et la stabilité. Une expérience préalable de la randonnée est souhaitable, mais aucune compétence technique n'est requise. Les participants ayant des problèmes de santé préexistants, tels que des maladies cardiaques, pulmonaires ou sanguines, doivent consulter leur médecin avant de s'inscrire. Il est conseillé d'informer le Club Alpin de l'Himalaya de toute condition médicale avant la réservation.
